Change starting difficulty?

[Bluford]

Is there anyway to set this? As of now, I have to start a song, then hit the riff repeater, crank it up there, then hit a few and resume the song.. seems I have to do it for each no section at times to.

Tried to play Asylum - Disturbed for the first time. I was failing all over the place, just hoping it would give me more notes. Cranked it up in riff to 100%, and had the song down after a few trys.

I dunno, it just seems so much harder to try and play a song you've heard over and over when most of the notes are missing.

Well.. once you play a song, the level gets set and only changes according to your playing ability. For songs that you haven't played, RS will set the level to around where it believes that you are at...

So, there are only two options.

1. Try and play it the best that you can, and it will start adjusting to you. If you are missing, it will lower the difficulty not raise it. So missing all over the place and hoping for more notes will not work.

2. Enter Riff Repeater and set it to where you want it.


Each person is different, which is why they allow you to adjust the level of the song. I prefer to leave it with the leveling system... It shows me where my hands should be and allows me time to figure out the fingering of that song. And you can always add in notes if you know where they should be.

The 1st time you play a song. Play on score attack hard. I like taking the song into riff repeater
setting it all to 100% and slowing it down. I dont know how many hours you've got in the game.
RS does adjust difficulty after a time. I just got smoke on the water and it was all purple and a 3 doors down song was around 90% purple.other than that you will have to do it in riff repeater.
You can select the whole song useing the 0,9,O,P keys
have fun

I'm like 260ish hours in.. maybe because it's DLC?

I do the same thing though, riff repeater, 100% then slow it till I can get the pattern down. Once I hit it a few times, most of the song is at 100% when in learn mode.. but damn, switch to a new song and gotta play with the sliders again >_<

forgot to mention that once you set the sliders to 100% you have to play thru whole song in RR for them to remain that way

No. I thought the same initially and it even used to work that way for me. The guy "905", that posts here regularly, got me straight. You don't have to play the song in RR, just set the sliders to 100%, leave RR and all stays at 100%. I had to verify my game cache (not sure, if I reinstalled the game) to make this work for me though.
